A THEORY OF GAUSSIAN PULSE PROPAGATION

Jacques Arnaud

Optical and Quantum Electronics 16 (1984) 125-130, 1984

ABSTRACT

The complex ray representation of Gaussian beams proposed by the author in 1968 is applied to the propagation of pulses with Gaussian envelope. Linear propagation in uniform time-invariant waveguides is first considered. Next, closed-form solition solutions are obtained for a special kind of nonlinearity.
